Emergencies don't always involve visible injuries. Mental health crises require the same urgency as any other life-threatening situation! We need clear protocols and continuous training for emergency dispatchers. 📞🚑 #EmergencyServices #MentalHealth #CrisisResponse #EmergencyPreparedness #Thetweetdoesnotmentionanyspecificcountries.Therefore #therearenocountrycodestoreturn.

Not sure if wrld.org has an arts or literature section? I’m looking for beta readers for a new book “Letters from England”. Here is an overview: OVERVIEW In August 2015, Timothy Goldring, a British businessman, began a sentence of seven years in Changi Maximum Security Prison, Singapore. He had no telephone. He could not always reply to letters. He had a concrete floor, a tikka sleeping mat, and seven cellmates in a cell twelve feet by twenty. The following month, a letter arrived through the food hatch. It was typed. It was from Lancashire. It began: Dear Tim, Trust your accommodation is up to the normal standards. Francis - IT businessman, Fitbit enthusiast, walker of the Yorkshire Dales, dreamer of a bungalow in Burnley with an inside lavatory — wrote to his oldest friend every month for four and a half years. Fifty-one letters. He did not miss a month. He wrote about what was happening in the world, about Donald Trump and Brexit, about his shoulder operation and his grandchildren and the taxi he drove home drunk on New Year’s Eve. He wrote the way he talked — with a Lancashire man’s instinct for irony, an old friend’s instinct for loyalty, and the stubborn conviction that the world continued and his friend was entitled to know about it. He did not write about the cell. He did not write about the sentence. He treated Timothy as he had always treated him: as a man who was interested in the world and entitled to opinions about it. Between every line, unspoken but unmistakable, was a single message: “I have not forgotten you. Here is the world, held open. I’m keeping your place in it warm.” Letters from England is two books woven into one. It is Francis’s book — a month-by-month chronicle of Britain, seen through the lens of one man’s grim, affectionate, furiously funny dispatch from the outside world. And it is Timothy’s book — the replies he could not send at the time: what it is to receive, month after month, the voice of a friend speaking from a world you can no longer reach. What it is to discover, in the most reduced of circumstances, that a smaller world is not necessarily a lesser one. That a monk’s cell and a prison cell are, in certain lights, the same room. That friendship, at its most austere — stripped of presence, of reciprocal conversation, of every ordinary reassurance — is perhaps the most extraordinary thing there is. This is not a story of crime or punishment. It is a story of loyalty. Of what one man does when another disappears from the world. He writes. Month after month. Into the silence. Because the alternative — to say nothing, to let the distance win — was, for Francis, sat in his cottage in Lancashire, simply not acceptable. If anyone is interested let me know and we’ll figure out how to get a pdf to you. Many thanks.

Human Rights Watch has accused the United Arab Emirates of serving as a transit point for Colombian mercenaries dispatched to support Sudan's Rapid Support Forces, which are implicated in atrocities during the ongoing civil war, a claim the UAE has denied, asserting that it does not facilitate foreign fighter operations on its territory. #UAE #Sudan #Mercenaries

In the mid-1980s local surveys counted around 470,000 adult Bathurst caribou. Last year that figure had fallen to just over 3,600.

On May 19, 1986, the "Official Night of UFOs" unfolded in Brazil, when air traffic controller Sérgio Mota da Silva witnessed numerous unidentified flying objects (UFOs) over four states, prompting the Brazilian Air Force to dispatch five fighter jets to investigate the solid phenomena, which were reported by both military and civilian witnesses, but remained unexplained even decades later. #UFO #UFOsightings #Extraterrestrial #BR #PR #SP #RJ #MG #GO #DF

At its core, it is irrelevant who dispatched this armed drone. 🚨What is crucial and highly alarming is that it was able to circle 45 kilometers deep in NATO airspace over a city with 35,000 inhabitants and extensive critical infrastructure – without being intercepted. (Original: Im Kern ist es unerheblich, wer diese bewaffnete Drohne entsandt hat. 🚨Entscheidend und hochalarmierend ist vielmehr, dass sie 45 Kilometer tief im NATO-Luftraum über eine Stadt mit 35.000 Einwohnern und umfangreicher kritischer Infrastruktur kreisen konnte – ohne abgefangen https://t.co/hL8L8n1TcP) #NATO #Drones #SecurityThreat #NATO
